There is only one message here that matters:
"We should have left long ago. It was a mistake to stay this long, and it was a mistake for me to delay evacuation until now.

Adults watch world-champion gymnastics and are like, "Didn't exactly nail that landing, did she?"

Roskomnadzor (Russia's censorship bureau) is attempting to block one of the most important rights-respecting networks in the world without issuing so much as a press release.
This is like banning the entire cell phone network because a drug dealer used it—without explanation. twitter.com/torproject/sta…

This. Sure, taking a phone to a protest is unsafe, but *going* to a protest is unsafe, because the problem isn't your phone—it is the decades of authoritarianism that made it a weapon.
Your phone will be safe when everyone is safe, and that won't come without taking some risk. twitter.com/sarahjeong/sta…

My infant son has just discovered he can sit up on his own, and quickly went mad with power.

Worry not about the highest inflation since the collapse of the Soviet Union, fellow citizen. The people in charge know what they're doing, and you can be sure that they will always put your interests first.

The DEA refused to answer questions about whether it used this (or other) spyware against Americans abroad, or about how the agency handled Americans' information — messages, phone contacts or other records — that the agency "obtained" when using it against others. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

At some point, the DNC/corporate-media blob may want to reconsider whether sabotaging the candidate with a genuine, lifelong focus on the struggles of the working class was really the galaxy-brain play they imagined.

People clowning on The @guardian for doing news explainers on Tik Tok about 9/11 and the Taliban should bear in mind that about one in four Americans today were not even *born* until after 9/11.
